Thanks! In the back of my mind I remember seeing these somewhere on a blog or in a store but passed up the opportunity to buy them. Why?! They look so cool. That’s me, dumb pencil non-buyer.

Sorry about that — thought the link would work. :)

They are the Write Dudes USA Green pencil — unfinished cedar, with the print BURNED on! They have a “natural” one you can get at Target, but they’re clear-lacquered, not natural. (Still nice though!)

John, I could type all that stuff in, or you could just tell me what’s written on the pencil :>) .

They are very lovely and fragrant pencils. Unfortunately, I’m told that they don’t make ‘em anymore. I am kicking myself for not buying another pack: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FPT6XC/ref=oh_details_o08_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you can find them, definitely give them a go. And please do let me know where you got them.

Ah, pencils in the wild, al fresco if you please, what a fitting combination. Upon enlargement of your photo I detect the telltale gold band of the Orange Palomino on the left, but just what is that natural grain pencil on the right? I quickly dismissed it as a Forest Choice because they have red erasers, then hazarded the thought it might be a Field Notes round pencil, but that too seems incorrect…the Draplin does have a green eraser, but does not have (per your archives) a green stripe on the ferrule, unless it is a newer version. Whatever it is, the natural woodgrain with the green stripe and green eraser looks great and us well suited for the forest.

Thanks for the kind words about our humble site, Anna! :)
The original marketing in 2010 was void of the art-pencil feel. I’m glad they changed the ad copy, and that baby is nice for sketching. :)

What’s wrong with a pencil being ‘art pensilish’? Wouldn’t the manufacturer’s site indicate that this is in fact primarily intended as a drawing pencil? http://palominobrands.com/the-pearl-is-coming/

That said, I love this blog. It is a pencil lover’s heaven and your photography is terrific!

In case Comrades might want to try them, I have found an Amazon listing at a reasonable price: http://www.amazon.com/Dixon-Ticonderoga-Triangular-Woodcase-13058/dp/B007H67EIQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368468220&sr=8-1&keywords=Ticonderoga+groove
